Mount Pilatus, The Centovalli, and the Jungfrau

Independent Switzerland rail circuit through Lucerne, Mount Pilatus, Lugano and Interlaken

Railbookers operates this independent rail package running 8 days and 7 nights through Switzerland. The trip begins in Lucerne, a medieval city the operator describes with snow-capped peaks, sparkling lakes, and flower-filled meadows nearby, before a gondola and cable car ride to the top of Mount Pilatus. From there the route continues to Lugano, in the canton of Ticino, described as having a Mediterranean flair, and on to Interlaken. The trip's name also points to two further named features, the Centovalli and the Jungfrau, though the details of that portion are not spelled out in the material we have. Because it is independent rather than escorted, travelers move between these stops on their own schedule. It suits travelers who want a scenic, multi-stop Swiss rail circuit combining mountains, lakes, and historic towns.
